The purple wire carries the electricity into the switch. When the switch is in the off position, electricity can't get past the switch itself. When you put the switch into the on position, electricity can come "In" and go "Out". So the electricity goes out on the Light Blue wire and up to the relay I added.

I picked this spot because it's easy to get to, and it's centrally located between the two lights. Not to mention this was an easy spot to drill a hole in, and know you're not going to have water leak in, or puncture something.

There you can see the hole, it's the one on the right side of the picture. You can also see I put a fuse for the relay in here, the goal here is to hide the wiring as best I can to give it a factory appearance.

Eventually I'll add the KC Replace a light fog lights, or find another oem one to replace my cracked one.

I'll add set of the 130W driving lights.

Windshield hinge light mount brackets.

Also in the plans are some 33s or 35s, undecided yet, I'll also be shooting for somewhat of an LCOG theme here. If I go with the 33's I'll just do the factory flare trim/flat flare, and if I go 35s I'll add the 2.5" RC Lift. Somewhere way down the line I'll be putting a stroker in there the 4.5 or the 4.6, Mopar Cold Air Intake, etc. I'll get there when I get there.

Next up on the upgrade list is a Custom Front Winch Bumper. I'll post up pictures as it gets rolling.

I actually did remove them :rofl: Yeah they just blow plain and simple.

I also am running some of those mopar fog light mesh guards to cover up the cracks.

I noticed a leak in the transfer case awhile back and now it has finally bugged the crap out of me enough to fix it. After close examination it was determined by me that my 241 case is from a craptastic casting.

If you look close you'll see it in this picture, its on the right side of the notch.

Long story short I JB welded that crack on all 3 sides, in the middle where the seal goes I had it sanded and all nice and smooth. I notched the crack down slightly to get and adequate amount in there. After that was all said and done I put the two halves back together filled it up with fluid and low and behold it was a leaking SOB again.

Well come to find out it had TWO more places it was cracked. You can actually sort of see one in the second picture. Its right where that "strengthening" rib thing ends in that corner deal.

I just JB Welded the other two and it seems to be holding up great.

While I had the trans and tcase out it got a new clutch kit and a new rear main seal.

Not long after the tcase rear main fiasco I was feeling down on my luck with the jeep so I thought a change was in order. I was right and I decided to get one of these:

It's OEM and I got the "kit" from Davey's Jeeps. The "kit" for the 03-06 wranglers is the mirror itself, the wiring harness that goes from the mirror to the defrost area connection, and the sensor down in the clip. Pretty painless install. Who doesn't love a little "Jeep Bling"?

So, changed a few things that weren't documented in here... Got a new soft top from an 06 with tinted windows, and I added the KC windshield hinge light brackets and moved the stock fogs up. All this happened sometime before June. Around the 18th of June the Jeep got a new clutch a new rear main seal and an oil change.

Headed out to Steamboat Springs Colorado that's what the pics are from.

Then in August after going to Steamboat I did the ZJ tie rod swap. I let the co-pilot drive and he hit a boulder in a river and crunched the tie rod and my front diff cover. :rofl:

No its not stuck, not even on the bump stops, the winch is an XD8000I with synthetic line. It did get used getting through this:

One of the bridges was out and there was plenty of trees to be moved. We were the first ones in something that wasn't an ATV through this trail since it opened this year. :2thumbsup:

The first batch is from Hahns peak area, the pics were on top of the peak with the giant solar panels, they're behind the jeep you can barely see them first pic. :cool:

Second batch snow picture is coming up the back side of that mountain with the solar panels, I'll try to edit in trail numbers if I can find the maps :rofl:

The last two were from Ellis Jeep Trail, which is also where the tie rod became toast. It was the stream in "the mud pits" area.
